Item Description

There’s more to do in Ellicottville than skiing…you can fly through trees on zip lines, dine at a craft beer brewery, and shop in an old-fashioned mercantile and a lot more.

Get ready for the most fun you’ll have all summer at HOLIDAY VALLEY SKY HIGH AERIAL ADVENTURE PARK!  Holiday Valley is known as a ski resort but during the summer the fun is off the slopes and in the sky. The Aerial Park is a series of platforms and “bridges” in a 4-acre section of woods. The platforms are built in the trees and the bridges and zip lines are connected to the platforms. The bridge may be a log, hanging chunks of wood or other obstacles or ladders. The challenge is to figure out how to get across to the next platform. It is not all strength; it’s more strategy and balance. There are 13 courses with varying levels of difficulty. The more difficult the course the higher up it is in the trees.

Enjoy a restful stay at the WINGATE BY WYNDHAM, located in the heart of Ellicottville near Holiday Valley. Unwind after your visit to Holiday Valley Sky High Aerial Adventure Park in the whirlpool and indoor pool and relax on the sundeck and next morning start your day with a delicious hot breakfast.

Visit the historic ELLICOTTVILLE COUNTRY STORE & ANTIQUES and take a step back in time. It looks like an old-fashioned mercantile but is so much more…gifts, soaps, candles, toys, jewelry, chocolates, old-fashioned penny candy, local maple syrup, cheese, teas and a lot more. Enjoy breakfast or lunch in the attached diner, and explore the upstairs Antique Gallery featuring multiple dealers’ booths displaying a wide assortment of quality antiques. It’s a local favorite!
